Mexico has enacted a constitutional reform that prohibits individuals with dual citizenship from running for president or other high-ranking government positions starting in 2028. President Claudia Sheinbaum defended the move as necessary to prevent foreign interference, but opponents argue it violates the rights of Mexican citizens who hold dual nationality due to migration. The reform was passed by a majority of lawmakers and senators from the ruling Morena party and its allies.
